Wake up and stop

I thought I would take a quick detour from a pure sales related post and talk about a quick experience I had yesterday.

A Down syndrome boy was on the train with his father yesterday and it tore me up.  He was adorable.  Prob about 10 years old.  Talking, playing and acting out here and there like kids do.  The father clearly loved the crap out of him.  He showed no hesitancy toward the child, was rubbing his back, playing with him, redirecting him constantly like he needs to, hugging him and clearly was showing unconditional love for his boy.  I just wanted to hug the boy and shake the man's hand.  

Then this huge sense of guilty came over me stemming from how much we complain about the stress in raising kids, our careers, money and managing schedules, etc.  But that father deals with the same things we deal with AND the fact that his son has Down Syndrome for the rest of his life.  Thank god that you are alive and be thankful for healthy kids.  All the the bullshit we worry about and fret over means NOTHING.  Family is what matters and we need to wake up and live life.
